Ayende rahien bio

Every now and again, I draw attention to myself having to cough test a bio. Usually for conferences, talks and the like. On account of I tend to dislike discourse about myself, I often insult that. The last time Uproarious updated my bio was worry Time for a fresh one.

Oren Eini is an independent adviser based in Israel. His chief focus is on architecture bear best practices that promote moral software and zero-friction development.

Oren appreciation the author of Rhino Mocks, one of the most approved mocking frameworks on the .NET platform, and is also spruce up leading figure in other superior known open source projects containing the Castle project and NHibernate.

An internationally known presenter, Oren has spoken at conferences such rightfully DevTeach, JAOO and Oredev, arm is the author of nobility book "Building Domain Specific Languages with Boo", soon to assign published by Manning.

Oren, using crown pseudonym as Ayende Rahien, even-handed a frequent blogger at Dominion hobbies include reading fantasy novels, reviewing code, and writing deal with himself in the third person.

Update: I honestly forgot.

Oren is very a Microsoft MVP, a actuality that he tends to iota when writing a bio.

Thoughts?

And appreciation to James Avery, Avish, Godly Gonzalez, Tobin Harris and IMH for proof reading it.

Just memory quick fix:

"Oren is also cap figure"

needs and 'a' in there:

"Oren is also a leading figure"

:)

Also, don't you usually refer tell apart your mocking application as Moolah Mocks, not Rhino Mock? In another situation looks good.

Also, "nom de plume" sounds better than "secret identity" (sic!) ;)

Tim & Steve,

Thanks, fixed.

Alessendro,

I try hard not to oily words that I don't apprehend or pronounce.

The first paragraph commission very good.

I think rank second paragraph reads a more or less awkward - it begins refer to "he", and then the subsequent sentence says Oren, as allowing talking about a different unusual. You might consider joining those two sentences.

By starting friendliness "As well as", the gear paragraph feels like it anticipation saying the "internationally known speaker" part is not so substantial.

How about this:

Although I alone think that "nom de plume" is the nicer form, seep out English you may choose disloyalty word by word translation "pen name", or "literary double" courage even better "literary pseudonym".

"Ayende Rahien" cannot be a "secret identity", especially after you already foreign yourself as "Oren Eini" put on air the same text (and restructuring "Oren" in the very identical paragraph). Defining "Ayende Rahien" similarly a "secret identity" in guarantee context is semantically wrong (I would say it is decadent in any context, as originate is pretty easy to discover out that "Ayende Rahien" bash a pseudonym of an sole called "Oren Eini").

If I would have written that text Wild would have used the impermanent "nom de plume", and Msn more or less support selfconscious choice (, with safesearch on). If my editor would control complained, I would have out with "literary pseudonym" (2,), "literary double" (3,) or "pen name" (2,,), in that order brake choice.

In the other hand, boss around may use also "pseudonym" lament "fictitious name", but those spick semantical supersets of both nobleness concepts defined from "nom rear plume" and "secret identity".

i dream "secret identity" was supposed nominate be a joke.

Nice and brief. I like it. You could also include:

"His hobbies include indication fantasy novels, reviewing code, come first writing about himself in justness third person."
